PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE
Standard lot: kg 90/120 of basic paste.

1) FIRST MIXTURE OF THE COMPONENTS
We put all the liquid components in a stainless-steel container; in case we add other solid components (previously melted in a bain-marie) in order to blend them and to mix everything.

2) PRODUCTION OF THE BASE
We put Kg 90/120 of basic paste on the paddle stainless-steel mixer through the belt conveyor.
At the same time, we add indiscriminately and slowly, the components mixed before (1).
Any addition has to be done slowly in order to obtain a perfect mixture of the different components.

3) DRAWING WITH DOUBLE PROPELLER
We extract the product from the mixer and we put it in a draw-plate machine with two screws, where it is mixed again and compressed for the first time. Once extracted from the screws the product passes inside a net shaped like a string which is immediately cut by a star-shaped rotating knife.

4) TWO PHASE DRAWING
1st PHASE
We put the product obtained before (4A) in a draw-plate machine with one screw through the belt conveyor. Here it is compressed again, then we cut it with a star-shaped rotating knife. The material takes the form of a "shaving".

2nd PHASE
The shaving obtained before is mechanically forced, always through a single screw, towards a vacuum room (where we take the air off). Then we extrude it on a unique bar enough big to guarantee a final constant weight.

5) CUTTING OF THE FINAL BAR
The product, shaped like a continuous bar, is conveyed to the rotating cutting machine, which is adjusted in order to produce unrefined soaps whose weight is a bit superior than the final one.

6)FINAL PRESSING
The unrefined soaps are conveyed, through the belt conveyor to pressing machine where the final pressing takes place. Moreover, the machine presses the planned captions, on both sides of the soap if it necessary.
The soap must have a weight corresponding to that declared and must have a uniform appareance, without spots and/or imperfections.
A worker checks the weight and the visual inspection of possible rejects.

CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL CONTROLS
MANUFACTURING CONTROLS
During all the manufacturing phases the product must be marked out and identifiable, through special signs where it is indicated the number of the production series and the product name to have even a right Stock-rotation.

ORGANOLECTIC FEATURES
The soaps must be homogeneous, without spots, external material, abrasions or breaks and with a particular scent.
The captions carved must be readable and clear.
If it is demanded we make cracking tests, according to the specifications techniques.

SOAP WEIGHT CONTROL
Every soap must not weight more than the explicit weight and must not exceed the limit issued by the law.
The soap weight control takes place soon after the final pressing, every ten minutes.
Said control is done by an electronic weighing-machine, with a printer reproducing the different weights and calculating the average, minimum and maximum weight of the production.
The results are filed as issued by the Law.

PRODUCTION QUALITY CONTROL
1)pH control
2)WASH Test
3)Weight control according to the law regulations
4)Humidity control, if required.
5)Samples requisition of every item produced. Filing and storing of samples for 3 years.

FINISHED PRODUCT QUALITY CONTROL
Controls according to DESKIN's file for finished product quality control or to CLIENT's practical handbook (if extant)

FINAL CONTROL
1)Identification of the code and item number on the packing box
2)Bench final control: bench labelling and numbering, for a easier stock-rotation.
